Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

• 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (we love Shaklee French Vanilla Plant)

• A pinch of fine kosher salt

• 2 tbsp almond or natural peanut butter

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 1/2 cups milk of your choice

Let’s Make It!

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mason jar, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips, protein powder, and a pinch of salt.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients: To the same jar, add the almond or peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk.

3. Mix Well: Stir everything together until well combined and there are no clumps.

4. Chill: Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least two hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together beautifully.

5. Enjoy: The next morning, give it a good stir, and enjoy your cookie dough overnight oats straight from the jar or pour it into a bowl. Feel free to add more toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor and texture.
